Journal Post-Astoria Greengrass
I just love the start of term when all the Hogwarts students come in for their robes. We don't have quite the rush that Malkins does, but it does keep us on our toes. I'd always wished when I was in school that I had robes like we offer-that change with a charm into cuter styles when not in class-and I figured out how to do it myself by 7th year, but it's satisfying to see so many girls excited to wear their robes.

Some days I miss Hogwarts; not MANY days, of course, but I've certainly been feeling some nostalgia lately.

I think I miss watching the Sorting most of all. What do you miss?

Hello, Ms. Bobbin. I know you're a good friend of Ms. Chang, and a very noteworthy pastry chef. I'm looking for someone for my upcoming wedding and I thought we could work together on what I would need. As the guest list is quite substantial, and we have quite a few requests, I apologize in advance that it will be very complicated, but as I have sampled your wares and can think of no one more talented, I know you can do the job. Would you be interested?

Thank you, Ms. Bobbin. I had hoped that would be the case. It's always best to work with someone passionate about what they do, especially when it comes to one of the most important days of your life.

That sounds lovely. I'll have to consult Draco, but I think perhaps within the next two weeks would be best; this weekend even strikes me as key since I have a lot of appointments after that for the winter lines. If Draco isn't available, I'm sure my mother or sister would be happy to come, and we could perhaps take samples home to Draco?

I look forward to meeting with you. Let me know when works best.

I couldn't agree with you more.

Preferably we would meet during Sweet Nothing's business hours, however I do have Sunday and Monday available as well. Also, I would prefer at least a day to ensure that I have a wide selection for you to sample or if you have any special requests to have them prepared for you in advance.

So if this weekend is what suits you the best, may I suggest either 1pm this Saturday or 2 pm Sunday?

	Business hours are fine, of course, I just would have to check with Draco to see whether he could come or it would be my mother and sister with me instead. Let's try for Saturday at 1pm then, if that suits? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I will schedule you in for Saturday at 1pm, and if you need to change it, just let me know. Now, I can't believe I forgot to ask this, but in the interest of preparation; do you have a date set for the wedding or any particular wishes to take into consideration? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Wonderful, I'll note it in my schedule and I'll plan on seeing you then, hopefully with my future husband in tow.

Excellent question, yes the wedding is set for Saturday February 14th. Romantic, yes? At present I am thinking I would like to do a cupcake tower with a traditional small cake on top for Draco and I to cut, and I'm still deciding how many flavors will choose and the kind of decorations, but I can bring in my idea binder and you can look at color swashes and sort of the feel I'm going for when we meet.

Yes, that is romantic. I have noted down your initial ideas, and will be preparing the consulation based on those. By all means do bring your idea binder; I want everything to be exactly as you want it to be, and I will take any help and inspiration I can to achieve that.

I'm looking forward to meeting you and your future husband as well, if not the Saturday, then maybe another time.

	Oh good, I hope I won't be too....much. I know you're probably used to working with brides but we always have such specific visions, I know it can be frustrating. Excellent, very much likewise! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not to worry. If it's any consolation you're off to a very good start as a pleasurable bride to work with. I'm not seeing any of the warning signs I've seen with socalled bridezillas in the past. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That does do wonders, actually. I wouldn't want to be a bridezilla by any means, even if I am rather particular. I look forward to seeing how your wonderful skills will translate to making our day even more special! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I look forward to making that happen. (Reply to this) (Parent)
